My friend who saw them is always somewhat oblique about why he dislikes something, but he was undergoing some sort of Beck listening boycott when I saw him last. Of course, he changed his tune when he heard the CD I'd put together of Beck rarities which rivalled the one I had obtained from him previously. (including landmarks like "Death is Coming to Get Me" and his cover of "Devil Got My Woman") But I digress. I thought the idea of the 'Lips backing Beck sounded like it had great potential. They're an eminent psychedelic 'pop' band with lavish production techniques and can get a powerful mood sunk into your bones if you give them half a chance. But I guess it all depends on how well th ey mesh with Mr Hansen. np: Ground Zero - Standards (purchased new, by jiminy) In theory, it was an inspired idea. A Lips show, Beck solo and then the Lips backing up Beck. I caught one of the New York shows and it was fun indeed. The Lips esp. know how to put on a memorable show (ridiculous close-up's of singer Wayne projected on a screen, bunny rabbit people shining flashlights all over the place, etc.). Maybe it's because I'm not thrilled with Beck's latest that I wasn't bowled over by his solo set but when the Lips joined him to do some of his oldies, he proved what a good (occ. hammy but lovable) entertainer he is. By the way, that Ground Zero record is an absolute classic. "Those Were the Days" indeed!

Speaking of Patton... I can't quite remember if it was 'Pink' or 'Yellow', but in "Elegy" Patton growls like a possessed killer dog.. and then lets out this bloody bark that fucks up your soul. . I've scared a lot of people with that one.

Eerie music
by Parry Gettelman 06 Dec '02

As opposed to just scary (Madonna, for instance, isn't eerie, she's more stupefying.... And then there's Britney, who I would put in the category of "vomitive" -- speaking of which, thanks, Skip, for the Joan Jett letter -- I haven't picked up Rolling Stone in years and would be sorry to have missed her righteous wrath and esp. the part where she goes off on the little Pat Benatar fan). Fleetwood Mac, "Albatross," "Man of the World," "Oh Well," "Love That Burns," a lot of their Peter Green-era stuff. Good ol' Angelo Badelamenti's "Twin Peaks" soundtrack, that main theme is ultra spooky. Badelamenti is a master of eery. Nino Rota's "Juliette of the Spirits" soundtrack The Hal Wilner-produced Closed on Account of Rabies: Tales of Edgar Allan Poe, esp. "The Masque of the Red Death." Dave Ray & Tony Glover's "HIV Blues" from 1990's "Ashes in My Whiskey" -- kind of a "TB Sheets" for the end of the millennium. John Cale's "Paris 1919" Leonard Cohen's "Everybody Knows" Whole swathes of Nick Cave, but esp. "The Mercy Seat" and his version of "Long Black Veil" Ann Peebles' "I Can't Stand the Rain" Beth Orton's "Stolen Car" Most of her stuff I find boring, but there's something weird about that song. The Hal Hartley video was super weird. Slim Harpo's voice. Pat Hare's "I'm Gonna Murder My Baby" on the excellent James Cotton/Junior Parker/Pat Hare release "Mystery Train" from 1990 -- esp. because Mr. Hare was already in jail for murdering his baby by the time the song saw the light of day. Johnny Adams w/ Aaron Neville singing "Never Alone" on Adams' last album, "Man of My Word" Johnny Dowd's "Wrong Side of Memphis" Human Sexual Response, "Land of the Glass Pinecones," "Marone Moan," "Anne Frank Story" and "The Day the Dolls Came to Life." Yes, the closer it gets to Christmas, the more I'm in the mood for Halloween..... Parry

<<Iancu Dumitrescu and/or Ana-Maria Avram>> Right, most of the Dumistrecu stuff I have heard but I would say "Pierres Sacrees" tops the list! Also agree on the Xenakis things, although the classical things are not really my ultimate strong point, knowledge-wise. <<Anaal Nathrakh, THE CODEX NECRO (I am really new to metal, but learning; this record scares the bejesus out of me, very noisy and wrong and intense)>> Even scarier, I would say these metal CDs Emperor - Emperor/Wrath of the Tyrant Mayhem - De Mysteriis... And probably several things by Darkthrone, Abruptum, Immortal, Dissection ... so much of that early '90s metal from far up North still sounds legitimately scary to me, despite how many of those musicians have made asses of themselves since and how black metal has gotten cheesy and commercial since then ... A couple of others: Noisegate - The Towers are Burning Sunn 0))) - Flight of the Behemoth (the Merzbow remixed tracks)

re: song rights

i was wondering about the same thing dan was. I already took a bunch of covers that I redid myself and put them on the internet. However, they are all classical covers and I don't think the Bach family is try to come after me. But let's say I did this with modern music. No one has ever paid for a copy of the songs, yet I put my name on them and list it as a cover of the original artist. Anyone that wants to hear it can download at will. Is there anyway the artists could prevent me from doing this? You might say no because I am not making any money off of it. But what if I did them so well that I became famous? Because of the cover songs, I could make a great deal off of my first original release. Would I owe anyone? Now, could the original artist sell my version of his song without my permission??

Most of Caspar Brotzmann Massaker's music can be quite scary- I find the song "Wiege" from Koksofen especially creepy. I remember I bought that album and Grand Guignol on the same day- some very intense listening. -----Ryan Novak __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
